Butler’s Pantry to Open Premier Event Venue in Historic Lafayette Square
Butler’s Pantry, St. Louis’ most innovative and creative catering company, is transforming the former laundry facility of the City Hospital into a premier event space—the Palladium. Built in 1937, the building had languished in Lafayette Square for years. Now restoration of this historic building is underway and the Palladium’s first event is scheduled for Fall 2009.
“The Palladium has been a dream of mine for a long time,” said Richard Nix Jr., president of Butler’s Pantry. “A venue of this caliber will make a great addition to St. Louis’ downtown scene.”
Butler’s Pantry hired architect Mark Herman to design the former laundry building’s metamorphosis into a glamorous and hip venue. His interior designer is creating a sophisticated ambiance with a sleek and modern decor.
When finished, Palladium St. Louis will be a spectacular space designed to accommodate up to an astounding 700 people. The chef’s kitchen will span three stories and will be equipped to create gourmet food for guests. Palladium guests will enjoy dining and dancing the night away in the gorgeous Palladium, with its two-story windows overlooking the historic Lafayette Square neighborhood.
